She's in Mrs. Goodrich's class and loves learning with her peers and having Mrs. Goodrich as her teacher. I do like that she's very easy to get a hold of if we ever need to communicate with her. And once in a while the parents committee put on various activities for the kids and their family. The only issue I have is that the traffic around school is terrible. I wish there was an easier or safer way to help with the traffic flow. The only time it's not so bad right now is when it's early out Wednesdays. Other than this everything else seems to be good so far.

Although we registered late, the lady that I spoke on the phone (forgive me, I forgot her name) was very nice and accommodating. We got there and received our registration packet.

Roy Herburger was the publisher of the Elk Grove Citizen, the newspaper that serves the city of Elk…read moreGrove and the south Sacramento area. He was also the owner of Herburger Publications, a newspaper printing plant. His support for education and Elk Grove schools resulted in a partnership with the school district and many statewide awards for his education reporting beginning in 1959. Roy Herburger was born in Cambridge, Missouri but was raised in Stratton, Colorado where his parents were involved with printing and publishing. He graduated from Stratton High School in 1948 and the University of Missouri, School of Journalism, in 1953. He then attended the United States Air Force where he graduated from Officer's Training in 1955. He served in the military until 1957 as a first lieutenant navigator, instructor. When Mr. Herburger took over the Elk Grove Citizen in 1959, he determined that schools and education should be the central theme of his newspapers. In addition to the Citizen, Galt Herald was also under his ownership, so he became a supporter of schools throughout south Sacramento County. Consistently through the years, Mr. Herburger made it very clear that education was the reason he was able to accomplish what he had set forth to do. In his words, he felt that "education held the key to life's success." Mr. Herburger has been a supporter of colleges and universities and he worked with a statewide committee to keep journalism as a major in schools. He assisted high schools with the production of their newspapers and taught students how to finance their publications through advertising. A long time community advocate, Mr. Herburger contributed to the betterment of the entire Sacramento area in his efforts. He was one of the persons responsible for the placement of Cosumnes River College in the south area and served on the CRC Foundation Board for 39 years. He is a supporter of the Los Rios colleges and Delta College as well. Mr. Herburger was active in statewide publishing groups, and since 1981, he served on the California Newspapers Publishers Literacy Committee

My son has been going here since he was 6-7. At first this school was amazing! He had all kinds of…read morefriends and was also eager to go to school in the morning. He wasn't hesitant at all. In 4th grade, there was this other student that had said multiple mean things to him and had made him cry. He was always the smart kid and had no problem with going to school. Because of this boy, he started to refuse to go to school in the end of the school year all the way through 5th and half of 6th grade but he eventually got put in homeschool. Remember, this was all because of one kid that did not know how to communicate with others and had no respect. I understand that it was a kid, but this doesn't mean he can be rude to others and have no effect on himself. He should know to be kind to others. Anyways, now lets talk about the other kids here, I believe there are 750 kids that attend this school currently and most of them are just kids that think they are older than everybody else and can do whatever they want to do. I absolutely hate that, what are these parents teaching these kids?? I would like to know because in 5th grade, somebody spilt yogurt on my son and it was on purpose. Did the staff do anything? NOT AT ALL. They did absolutely NOTHING. What is wrong with these people? The staff suck, the principals fine, the students have no respect whatsoever and that rude office lady just pisses me off! As a matter of fact.. how does she still work there? She is HORRIBLE! The teachers are better, though miss villunaeva is also HORRIBLE! She is so rude and I feel so bad for the people that have her as their teacher. Im not sure if she still works there but this school could definently be better.
